The U.S. Embassy's Public Affairs Section in Moscow (PAS Moscow) invites proposal submissions for a cooperative agreement to implement the Russian-American History Showcase (formerly the Fort Ross Quest). The grant recipient will work closely with Public Affairs and Cultural Affairs at Mission Russia to create an activity that motivates teams of Russian teachers and secondary school students to explore the shared history of the United States and Russia. The result of their research (a video, online game or board game, app, performance, comic book etc.) then becomes a useful outreach tool for further engagement with a broader audience. The grantee will support the travel and logistics for winning teams to participate in a study tour to Fort Ross state park and other sites of historical significance in the United States. The Russian-American History Showcase proactively promotes a broader understanding of U.S. history while also promoting tolerance, shared values, teamwork, and English language learning.
